FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I agree, this has been suggested several times, me included. I also think this would greatly enhance visuals. I have talked with celeron55 in IRC about this a while ago. He told me that one problem with this is that this would also largely increase the about of required data, which is especially ba...

Um... I never said "donut" And you didn't have to. What you describe (wrapping a plane around X, then Y ; or the other way around) doesn't make a sphere, it makes a donut. The technical word is "torus", though. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Torus_from_rectangle.gif I don't mean...

Um... I never said "donut"
shaped. I am referring to a spherical world.

@Enke: In regards to world size, it's whatever. All I care about is the principle.

We were thinking the wrapping could start at maybe 6,275,410 metres/blocks, and then starts loading chunks from the opposite side of the map, counting back to the start. :3

this has been discussed before. you can refer to this thread for ideas on what to do. That's only half of the same idea. The bowed rendering would complete the illusion. I'm not good with C# or LUA, so I'd need a lot of help to get this implemented. Also, I'd like to get the discussion going again,...

Heya. I was discussing Minetest with a friend of mine, and I asked him what could be added to the game to make it more unique. He came up with a system of chunk loading that would essentially count up or down in a direction until it spawned you on the opposite side of the map. I added in the idea of...

On Ubuntu, in the Home folder press 'ctrl+H'. Go to the .minetest folder. Extract there, and within the respective subfolders. i.e. textures, mods, etc. :3

...Minetest is copying Minecraft now (With the names...) I mean the GLSL shaders from Minecraft... I think the developer of the MC GLSL shaders should post those things with the same name. No matter what game but this is copying! Lol, this guy really thinks that GLSL is a name invented by Minecraft...

I tried this & it works! thank's PilzAdam you make great mods i find them very cool! Also an way to ride the cart is to stand on it but it's very glitchy. When will we be able to ride the carts? There need to be some new functions for the lua api. So it depends on the engine developers. Yeah... It'...

Awesome! n.n Thanks a ton. This is very fun.

Are these 3D like the old mod? I'd like to see both rolled into one, if possible.

The cart is roatating but you dont see it. You can change the visuals of the cart by changing the nodebox in box.lua

Ooh! Thanks a ton! ^-^

Awr... :< Well, would the points at least make a rotating, elongated cart?

I think I may have some input. n.n The minecarts in Minecraft were rectangular boxes, and these are square. Now, let me just say that I don't really care about the shape, but I was considering some general ideas about the carts: Make 3 points within a rectangular minecart. <back point (follows track...
